UCL has been awarded around 340 bursaries of £10,000 each as part of

jointly by HEFCE and UCL.

This is a one-off opportunity for UK/EU students graduating in summer
2015, having been charged the higher rate of tuition fees starting in 2012/13,
and applying to study a postgraduate taught programme starting in September
2015.
